Batman: Arkham City Screenshots

Many screenshots for the upcoming game Batman: Arkham City have surfaced online today. The game will be released on PS3,  Xbox 360 and PC sometime in Fall 2011.

This game looks awesome because it has many characters from the all-star catalog of batman villains  including Two-Face, Catwoman, Hugo Strange and many more.

The game takes place in a new maximum security "area" known as Arkham City, where they hold Gotham City's gangsters, murderers, thugs and the criminally insane masterminds. The new facility is located right smack dab in the middle of Gotham City behind heavily fortified walls. It reminds me a little of Escape from New York. Batman will embark on a new adventure through the insane city with new enhanced gameplay features that will make you more like Batman than ever before.

Here is a huge amount of 20 screenshots for Batman: Arkham City. This game looks amazing.

Video Game Reviews 2009

2009 was a great year for video games and today I'll be doing a round-up of all the reviews from this year. The reviews range from games like Infamous, to Modern Warfare2. Here is a list of all the games reviewed this year.


Infamous is just a great game and every PS3 owner should have atleast rented it and played it through. Play Infamous, it will not disappoint. It gives you the chance to use your recently acquired powers for good or evil. I gave Infamous an 81 of 100. Check out my full review at http://thelaststands.blogspot.com/2009/10/infamous-review.html.





Batman: Arkham Asylum is one of my favorite games of 2009. It has potential to be GOTY. Arkham Asylum has to be the best Batman game ever created. It does a great job of mixing action gameplay with stealth gameplay. If you haven't played Arkham Asylum then you are really missing out. Arkham Asylum got a 91 of 100. Go to http://thelaststands.blogspot.com/2009/10/batman-arkham-asylum-is-best-comic-book.html.






Uncharted 2: Among Thieves has to be the most visually beautiful games I've ever played. This game looks so good it could almost be a movie. It puts you in the shoes of Nathan Drake on his adventure in search for Marco Polo's lost fleet. Among Thieves is a definite buy for any PS3 owner. Check this game out. I gave Uncharted 2: Among Thieves a 93 of 100. Look at my full review at http://thelaststands.blogspot.com/2009/10/uncharted-2-review.html.





Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the original Modern Warfare. MW2 is one of the greatest FPS's of all time and it's sales can prove that. The online multiplayer is just as great as the original with just a little more to offer. If you don't own this game already you have no idea what you are missing. Modern Warfare 2 is the best multiplayer experience you will find. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 brought home a 91 of 100. See my full review at http://thelaststands.blogspot.com/2009/11/modern-warfare-2-review.html.

I'll be back next year with a plethora of reviews for your eyes gaze upon.

Batman: Arkham Asylum Review

Batman: Arkham Asylum is the best comic book, superhero game I've ever played. It brilliantly mixes action gameplay with stealth gameplay. Arkham Asylum puts you in the shoes of the greatest detective of all time, Batman, in a story that keeps you on your toes and wanting more. The synopsis of the story is that The Joker traps you in Arkham Asylum where you have to battle through his goons and some of the villains to get to the Joker. The story is excellently written by Paul Dini, the great writer from Batman the animated series. The stealth gameplay is key to survival in Arkham Asylum. In some scenarios the goons won't have weapons, but in most of them they are armed and you have to think of ways to take them out without the others seeing you. The hand to hand combat is extremely smooth and is flows beautifully. One thing I really enjoyed doing is gliding around, that was really fun to me. Things I didn't like was that the boss battles were exceptionally easy, even on hard difficulties. Another thing I didn't like was that there was a detective vision you can use to find secrets and use to follow clues. I didn't like it because you will use it constantly and probably just keep it on the whole game. There really wasn't a point to having a regular view if you aren't going to use it. Overall this is an amazing game and I think anyone who enjoys a good game with a good story should check it out. I give Batman: Arkham Asylum gets a 91 of 100
